THE OLD GARDENER 
talks of SWEET CORN 
Want more sweet 
corn. for more 
weeks? We can 
give you the com- 
bination that turns 
the trick. 

Ears of sweet corn are at their best: 
when harvested in the milk stage and 
cooked at once. Between harvesting and 
cooking, always store ears in the coolest 
space you have, because the rate of 
sugar loss is very fast at high tem- 
peratures. 
In any area of the West, corn may be 
planted as soon as the ground is thor- 
oughly warm. Start out with a sowing 
of Marcross for a first or early crop, 
COLLARD 
Sow seed heavily and transplant when 
4’ high; or sow in rows in perma- 
nent beds and thin to 16" to 18” 
apart when plants are well started. 
or Georgia—An _ excellent 
cooked green. Long stemmed plant 
with clustered leaves. Withstands heat 
and bad soil. 24 to 36 days. 
SWEET CORN 
Rows should be 3’ to 4g apart. Seed 
12” to 18" apart in rows or hills, 
covering with fine soil 1” to 2” deep 
firmly pressed down, In hills, plant 
4. to 6 grains per hill. Later thin to 2 
to 3 stalks to a hill. Make several 
plantings at intervals of 14 days for 
continuous crop.

Continued on Page 12 

then change to Golden Cross Bantam 
and put in several small blocks so you 
can have a harvest of these fine ears 
right up to frost. 
These new hybrid varieties are far su- 
perior in disease-resistance, size of ears, 
and productivity—and they’re fully 
equal in flavor to the best of the old 
open-pollinated corn, 
Be sure to plant your corn in blocks 
instead of in rows, because there has to 
be complete wind pollination to fill the 
ears with kernels right up to the tip.
